Lloyd Banks - Break Me Down lyrics
[Pre-Chorus] Sometime the pain hurt so bad standards can get blurry But you gon' have to pick one, say a prayer, worry I ain't scared of death feel like I already felt it Forgive you for hating on me I know you can't help it [Chorus] The devil want to take me now But I can't let him break me down I can't make no mistakes he's 'round Feel like I'm going crazy now I'm paranoid lately now Feels like nothing can make me smile I know they want to break me down Everyone in my face seems foul [Verse 1] Motherfu*ker you want me locked up cut up shot up Came to fruition I got popped up knocked down got up Back on a mission lost my grand mom two times two aunts I'm reminiscing took my best friend grandpops and pop Now I'm trippin' they would tell me don't take nothing for granted I wouldn't listen signs ain't mean sh*t without understanding my premonition ni**a's will rock you to sleep cannibalism his slip was already written won't find a manual with him Y'all ain't love a ni**a you just love the way I was living Now it's my fault holding you highest thing that all's forgiven Spent early years on the VI floor of the prison Hoping you ain't leave for nothing and I inherit the wisdom Want babies to make the best out of life with no supervision Returning from neighborhood wars tallying who went missing It's your fault it's the second time I'd be a fool for giving Someone praying on my downfall obvious you been wishing [Pre-Chorus] Sometime the pain hurt so bad things can get blurry But you gon' have to pick one, say a prayer, worry I ain't scared of death feel like I already felt it Forgive you for hating on me I know you can't help it [Chorus] The devil want to take me now But I can't let him break me down I can't make no mistakes he's 'round Feel like I'm going crazy now I'm paranoid lately now Feels like nothing can make me smile I know they want to break me down Everyone in my face seems foul [Verse 2] Murder's the realest sh*t I ever saw It stuck with me forever more its like a Let down the emptiness spilled out on the floor Don't doubt that I make a comeback sh*t I done came back before Gave you ass to kiss, I watched ass kisses fall through the door Only a b*tch is concerned with who someone's nailing Only a loser gon' laugh at ni**a failing You lose a little them so-called-friends will be bailing Fumbling words apologizes coming off incoherent Homies will turn their back with consistency I'm preparing Losing a liability ain't sh*t to me I'm a parent You need a partner respect for the one you pair with Watch who you may welcome in outsiders'll interfere quick You cross the line you're getting all my time I dedicate all of my days to drowning you, awaiting your funeral line Just a suggestion out my beautiful mind Had me standing still in my guilt, but now I'm doing fine [Pre-Chorus] Sometime the pain hurt so bad things can get blurry But you gon' have to pick one, say a prayer, worry I ain't scared of death feel like I already felt it Forgive you for hating on me I know you can't help it [Chorus] The devil want to take me now But I can't let him break me down I can't make no mistakes he's 'round Feel like I'm going crazy now I'm paranoid lately now Feels like nothing can make me smile I know they want to break me down Everyone in my face seems foul [Verse 3] Yo, able to sense what you're thinking another urban story Hearing the voices of soldiers caught up in purgatory Happy you left fu*k I need with another burden on me Hope you live to show off your scars give all the surgeons glory Avoiding discussions to shake off the suffering Take some time you're problems mean nothing You want to convert 'em and make 'em mine Playing a gangsta just to hope for the moment You're favorite wine's horrible, picking friends That end up with all the ungrateful kind Envying on you when they show an agenda To sink the king critical pen in night and day Maybe I'm overthinking things ni**as be on the fence Eliminate all of the links between Offer the drama they gon' take you up on it keep blinking, Queens [Bridge] Lord forgive me them dark spirits got in me I'm smelling death in the air, and now it's starting to get windy When you isolate yourself adversaries will turn to many If you could only get the chance to you would end me [Pre-Chorus] Sometime the pain hurt so bad things can get blurry But you gon' have to pick one, say a prayer, worry I ain't scared of death feel like I already felt it Forgive you for hating on me I know you can't help it [Chorus] The devil want to take me now But I can't let him break me down I can't make no mistakes he's 'round Feel like I'm going crazy now I'm paranoid lately now Feels like nothing can make me smile I know they want to break me down Everyone in my face seems foul
